Depending on where you are, if you head to the downtown core early Sat morning so you're there for openings, you should be able to get your size without too much trouble I would guess. Do some legwork beforehand - make sure you know which are FCFS, and try and get a sense of how many pairs are where, and where the majority of people will (and won't be lining up). Sounds strange, but sometimes people flock to one location, while somewhere else won't have nearly as much traffic. Can also try online with Nike.ca and anywhere else putting them up. Another alternative are smaller Font Lockers, Champs, etc. outside of downtown. Many stores should be getting these.

Thanks - I’m 5 minutes from EC

Was wondering if people knew what the stock run would be? Will livestock be raffling black cement 3s??

Umm ok so i was under the assumpption that FCFS is FCFS...not FCFS on wristbands?! In my opinion wristbands for a release is not first come first serve.

Just irritated because i drove down to Jordan store this morning for the WC3's, only to be asked if whether or not i had a wristband by one the guards. I fully asked an employee earlier in the week who i wont name if whether or not it was FCFS and he said yes. Im obviously misunderstanding what first come first serve means then.

...maybe im too old for this now or just way out of the loop.

folks usually start lining up right after the closes, i am assuming the guards will hand out some type of wristband to ppl lining up to eliminate line cutters around opening time

LS is FCFS and they open at 11. So if you were to strike out on all the stores around the EC that are releasing them then you could head over there, stopping at the footlocker on queen on the way. I'll think you'll get them around the EC though, there's like 10 stores in that area.
